Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). This temperature will ensure that your mini peppers roast beautifully, enhancing their sweetness while achieving a golden-brown finish.
  2. Wash and dry the mini sweet bell peppers thoroughly, ensuring they are free from any moisture. Cut each pepper in half lengthwise, removing seeds and white flesh to create a cavity for the goat cheese.
  3. Spoon generous amounts of goat cheese into each pepper half until they are nicely filled, allowing some cheese to slightly overflow.
  4. Arrange the stuffed peppers in a single layer in a baking dish, ensuring they are snug but not stacked, to promote even roasting.
  5. Roast the stuffed peppers in your preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until tender and slightly golden around the edges.
  6. Carefully remove the dish from the oven and drizzle the warm peppers with balsamic glaze and honey. Sprinkle with freshly chopped thyme and a dash of black pepper. Serve warm.
